Next week we are headed into the belly of the beast—to hear directly from survivors. West Palm Beach, FL, was not only a testing ground for Epstein’s abuse of survivors, but the system itself. He rigged the system to escape justice for decades. A system he replicated in NM and Zorro Ranch.

The gumption of the young journalists here alone is worthy of commendation, but I’m most heartened by how local reporting by local people breaks through: “It’s like, ’Yeah, your granddaughter is going through this...it’s something different than Fox News.’” #icymi

We should be pressuring organizations to cancel their conferences and conventions in the South. Pressuring universities to refuse to allow their teams to play in the South.

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society

I spoke to a colleague in the financial sector who put it quite simply: I don't care what Iran says, or what Trump says. I just count the number of ships passing through the Strait. That's the only tangible data point that matters.

They shut down the entire National Mall so Trump could take a joyride in the pool

Just had Canvas stop working as I was typing comments on a student paper. I now can’t access anyone’s work or grades. Strangely, this never happened back when I used a grade book and had students email me their papers, a system no shareholders extracted money from.

So if the incubation period for hantavirus is 1-8 weeks, why isn’t everyone on that cruise ship being quarantined? Confirmed hantavirus cases on the cruise ship has risen to 5. “There are 23 people wandering around there, and until three days ago, no one had contacted them.” — Passenger

Q: You are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran. Why focus on all these projects right now? We're still seeing gas prices soaring TRUMP: I want to keep our country beautiful and safe. It's such a stupid question you asked. This is one of the worst reporters. She's with ABC fake news.

From his tacky billion dollar ballroom, to his vulgar 250-foot arch, to gluing cheap golden do-dads to the walls of the White House, to renaming and remodeling the Kennedy Center, to painting the Eisenhower building, Donald remains laser-focused on the issues the American people care most about.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he never articulated, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Trump is cornered — and the rest of us are paying the price.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

FOX NEWS: How many deportations do we need to set this country's population back to where it's actually a country of legal citizens? TOM HOMAN: Millions. I think there are well over 20 million illegal aliens in the country. We're gonna do everything we can to arrest as many people as we can.

“Millions” of people.

When Justices jump from saying this👇🏼 in 2023 to allow allowing openly racist gerrymanders, Americans who are paying attention can’t be blamed for viewing certain justices as political actors. Read more here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-new-ji...

New details have been released about Palm Beach International Airport, recently renamed to Donald J. Trump International Airport. Their new contract requires the airport to purchase Trump merchandise from Trump's own licensor, directly violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.

There is something deeply pathological about Chief Justice Roberts insisting the Supreme Court isn’t political while sitting atop the most ideological supermajority in modern history.

I like FBI Directors with prior experience in law enforcement but WITHOUT their own personalized branded bourbon. #CallMeOldFashoined

Trump’s DOJ continues to reach new depths of corruption. I spent 10 years at the SDNY rooting out corruption and held Donald Trump accountable. When Democrats take back the House, I’ll lead investigations to hold the entire Trump administration accountable.

The truth is in front of us. The question is whether we have the will to act:

Gen Z is the first generation to be less cognitively capable than the one before them. A neuroscientist told Congress why: screens. I helped pass legislation to get phones out of classrooms and I have a plan to hold Big Tech accountable. My guiding principle will always be putting our kids first.

Maybe don’t bring your kid around this
